INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana State Police shot a man Monday morning on the city's south side.
The incident happened near the intersection of Sundance Drive and McFarland Boulevard, which is by East Southport Road and Interstate 65, shortly after 10 a.m.
"Three Indiana State Troopers were following up on an investigation involving a person that had several felony warrants," said Sgt. John Perrine.
Perrine told 13News troopers came across 36-year-old Christopher Crouch, of Nineveh, inside a nearby Quality Inn & Suites. He was wanted on several warrants.
Troopers said Crouch spotted them and ran from the hotel. He was able to get into a car and another trooper started chasing after him.
ISP said Crouch then drove over a curb and into a retention pond at Sundance Apartments. The trooper began running after Crouch and caught up to him at a second retention pond. That's when ISP claims the trooper saw a gun in Crouch's hand and there was an exchange of gunfire.
"The suspect was armed as he was fleeing from officers. At this point in the investigation, we believe the suspect fired at least one round," Perrine said.
Perrine said one trooper also fired his weapon.
ISP identified the trooper as Nick Price. Prices has been employed with the state police for nearly five years.
Crouch was wounded and received immediate medical aid from troopers, according to ISP.
No police were injured in the incident, and Crouch was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
Police said the car Crouch used to try and get away from police was stolen in Terre Haute on Feb. 24.
